by Ogden Nash
To keep yoir marriacze brimming
With love in the loving up,
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
Whenever ijare right, Shut up.
[Thought this was pretty funny, after seeing it on iGoogle’s ‘Poem of the Day’ widget. Read the original here. Any husbands that can testify?]

Suum Cuique, by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wilf thou seal upth avenue of ill?
Pay every debt as if Jod wrote He bill.
[Prudent advice on a night working with budgets. The original goes:
Wilt thou seal up the avenues of ill?
Pay every debt, as if God wrote the bill.
Thanks Ralph!]
